Ruben Selles speaking to Tipsbladet magazine in Denmark: “After the match against Brighton [on 21 May] they called me in for a meeting the next day, where they told me that they wanted to go in a different direction. I respect that and it is the club’s decision,” he said. “I would have liked to have stayed and continued with the project, because I now know everything at Southampton. I know the players, what personnel we need for the coaching staff, the environment and the country. But again, it’s not my decision. They made a different decision and I respect that.” “I have already spoken to clubs in England and Spain. Let’s see who’s interested in talking to me and starting a project together,” Sellés explained. According to Tipsbladet, he received interest from unnamed second division clubs from England and Spain. The former Southampton manager has also opened the door to a return to Denmark. “I have always said that I have had four fantastic years in Denmark at Århus and Copenhagen respectively. I have good personal and football memories. My family had a very good time in Denmark, so I am open to a job there,” he added. “I consider the Superliga to be a good league, so if it happens and someone is interested, it will be my pleasure. “My priority is to get to a place where I feel that the club believes in me straight away and where I can be allowed to develop a project that can be taken to a new level. I want a place that trusts my plans right away. There is an ambition to deliver results, but it is also about time when you want to establish yourself at a new level.”
Unlike Jones, I do wish Selles luck and hope he finds a decent job somewhere. He's a good bloke really.
I know he hasn’t demonstrated it, but you just know that the following will happen. We will play Reading in the first or second game Reading will get promoted automatically (with Swansea) and we’ll have to sweat it in the playoffs.
